| Synopsis: | Through the hours before dawn on June 6, 1944, as paratroopers fought in the hedgerows of Normandy, the greatest armada the world had ever known assembled off the beach -- almost 5000 ships carrying more than 200,000 soldiers. In THE LONGEST DAY, Cornelius Ryan tells the story of the hours that preceded and followed H-Hour of D-Day. It is not a military history but the story of people: the men of the Allied forces, the enemy and the civilians caught up in the confusion of battle. Besides researching published papers, Ryan tracked down 700 D-Day survivors. Their experiences are woven together into the breathtaking narrative of THE LONGEST DAY. |
